Summary
We shouldn't go back to normal because God is always moving forward, and He wants to do a new thing.
Limitation leads to innovation. The first name of God we meet in the Bible is CREATOR; His Spirit is the source of our creativity.
This pandemic will either prune us or will purge us.
We must move from Churchianity to Christianity!
1. Churchianity is about who we are seating; Christianity is about who we are sending.
2. Churchianity is about encouraging; Christianity is about equipping.
3. Churchianity is about membership; Christianity is about ministering.
4. Churchianity is about services; Christianity is about serving.
5. Churchianity is about programs; Christianity is about the process.
6. Churchianity is about making events; Christianity is about making disciples.
7. Churchianity is about buildings of brick; Christianity is about building people.
8. Churchianity sees Sunday as a destination; Christianity sees Sunday as a gas station.
9. Churchianity counts decisions; Christianity counts disciples.
10. Churchianity is us going to the Church; Christianity is Church going to the world.
11. Churchianity is about building attendance; Christianity is about building an army.
12. Churchianity will go into decline; Christianity will go into digital discipleship.
13. Churchianity is into methods; Christianity is into the mission.
How to Move Forward to the NEW:
1. Hear from God. (Hab.2:1)
Cultivate awareness of God's presence.
Build a reservoir of God's word.
Remove the noise from your life.
Learn to watch and wait on God.
God whispers, not yell because He expects us to be close.
2. God's answer comes in the form of a vision.
"Vision is a picture of the desired future." Andy Stanley
"Visions and dreams are the languages of the Holy Spirit." David Yonggi Cho
The Holy Spirit is the source of visions. Visions produce faith. Faith brings focus.
Most of us don't struggle with a lack of motivation but with a lack of inspiration.
A person without a vision is a slave to their reality.
Write the vision down, but make sure it's in the heart.
Vision is given to an appointed person, but it has an appointed time.
Vision comes to you slowly, but you must run to it swiftly.
3. Don't waste your waiting.
The quality of your soul will determine the quality of your life.
The process of waiting exposes sickness in the soul.
God will change you before he changes your life.
4. You must be filled before you are fulfilled. (Hab. 3:17-19)
You need to be filled with God's Spirit; don't wait to be fulfilled by fulfillment of God's promises.
Happiness comes from what's happening to you. Joy comes from who lives in you.

| 0:00.0 | I think what has happened with people who are influencers and people who become famous and known |
| 0:06.4 | sometimes, and especially pastors like me, when God brings huge exposure to our ministry, |
| 0:13.5 | we have to remember that it's not about us. It's about people. We have to remember it's not |
| 0:20.3 | about using people to build our platforms. It's about people. We have to remember it's not about using people to build our platforms. |
| 0:24.0 | It's about using our gifts, our platforms, the gift God has given us to build people. And I think |
| 0:31.8 | the thin line and the difference between these two views and these two mindsets are so thin and only holy spirit can help to guide us i'm |
| 0:40.5 | not against you know pastors who make money off of that stuff because i can't i don't know anybody's |
| 0:45.2 | motives my goal is to monitor mine and to take inventory of what is happening in this mind of mine |
| 0:51.3 | and this heart of mind and to remember what I come from. |
| 0:54.8 | Remember how God called me at the age of 16 into ministry. |
| 0:59.2 | When I was insecure, when I did not know that, you know, this will turn to what it has become |
| 1:04.4 | and be faithful with that and to understand that my calling is to answer the cry of hurting people. It's not to get |
| 1:12.9 | rich, be famous, and be known. If God chooses to bless me with more influence and resources and |
| 1:20.0 | everything, that is within God's job. My job is to be faithful with that and make sure that |
| 1:24.9 | people on the receiving end don't have any hindrance |
| 1:28.7 | to the message and the power and the teachings and what God has deposited me with. And so that's |
| 1:34.1 | what I'm trying to do. Part of my birthday is kind of sharing a little bit about what's happening |
| 1:40.2 | with that. And so for those of you who have been on the receiving it, I just want to say thank you. |
| 1:45.0 | It's been a pleasure of serving you. And I'm looking forward to many, many more years of people |
| 1:49.6 | being mentored. One of the reasons I launched a school was because I get requests all the time, |
| 1:55.8 | Pastor Vlad, can you mentor me? And practically speaking, that's not possible. You know, |
| 2:00.0 | Pastor Vlad, can you pray for me? |
